Bishop Bell's Great Example In its gifts of$5,000 to the national assoc ion for the advancement of colored people the fourth Episcopal district of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, presided over by Bishop William Y Bell, has started a precedent, the net results of which we hope, will be felt around American in every denomination and creed among Negroes. The gift is the response to a decision of eight bishop in the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church last may to throw the full Weight of the church behind the work which the National Association is carrying on so effectively for a completely democratic America. What a noble example think of the increased protection all Negroes could enjoy in the rural areas and in our urban communities as well were all of our denominations especially those presided over by Episcopal heads! Bishop Bell, always a leading exponent for justice and complete equality has given tangible evidence of the fact that he can be put down as an apostle of the philosophy of practicing what he preaches the marvel is that not more of our bishops have not already caught the spirit to lead their membership into a vital program of support to such a wonderful organization as the NAACP. Bishop Bell area embraces five conferences in Ohio, north Carolina, South Carolina, the District of Columbia, virgin and the Middle Atlantic States and New England the bishop expressed the hope that each of the CME church areas will follow his lead MEALTIME MELODIES! BY GRACE WATSON In a very short while we will be saying good bye '51—hello 52 and if you are a sentimentalist you will look back over the 1951 and take inventory of your "ups and downs." For jus t like all past years, this year has brought us its share. Of the "bitter" and sweet How well you have been able to accept the bitter depends in a large measure on your health. Because it takes a strong healthy body to meet failure with the attitude of trying again. When we being to talk about health we have to start with good eating for as we've been saying all the the year "you are what you eat." So on this last Friday in 1951, Let's turn the calendar back and take a look at our eating during the year Say have you cheated yourself out of a good breakfast every morning? Breakfast is important to your whole day—important to the way you feel and the way you work Nutritionist says that 1-4 to 1-3 of your day's food need should be eaten in the morning meal. If you don't eat breakfast you're all off the ball" Take a trip from Mrs. Florence Balden's ninth grade foods class at Melrose high school these girls say that if you want to "Sparkle and Shine," eat a good breakfast. And for you who say that you don't have an appetite at seven in the morning these girls advice to you is to start developing an appetite by drinking a glass of milk every morning. Eventually you will want toast with that milk, and then an eggs with that toast and so on untill you are eating a hearty break fast Well how did you click with the boss this year were you a hit? If you were ill bet you never skip lunch. Did you ever stop to think that lunch is the only meal that laws have been passed about? Yes states have passed laws stating that workers must have time out for lunch and very sensible laws they are too! For lunch is life's great refueling station. You know a streamlined transcontinental plane paused to rest its wings and fill up its tanks you make a transcontinental flight everyday of yours life following the sun from the Atlantic of breakfast to the pacific of dinner. It's not smart to pass up the noon-hour refueling stop. Oh, so you ate 365 dinner this year I think we all did everybody eats a hearty dinner but that wont amend the damage you did by skipping meals earlier in the day. Scientist have added five more years to man life span. They have also learned that many of the ailments of man can be controlled by eating the right food to simplify eating, the experts have given us seven groups of food they call them the basic 7 food. If we select foods from the basic 7 food groups daily we can be confident that we are getting all the nutrients needed by our bodies. Resolve in 1952 to eat 3-square meals a day to help you do this get a copy of the book. "Eating is For Everyday." Write or call the Membership dairy Council—135 N.

THE southeast corner of the great Boone hospital was made up of a tier of rooms knows as the Pavilion. Outsider, hearing this term, picture a separated structure, it was not. The rooms were larger, more luxurious; their many windows and private balconies brought them more air and sunshine; they cost as much per day as quarters in a luxury hotel. Four of these rooms were available on each floor of the hospital because it is a fact that the ills of mankind is no respecter of persons and pocketbooks, and the children of the very rich must be accommodated on the isolation floor the millionaire must rest his tired heart or undergo surgery. The doctors and nurses being trained in the Group were assigned to duty in the Pavilion just as they were assigned to charity wards. It was an important part of their instruction their practice, to learn how to handle the very rich. And, in some cases how to deal with the doctors of the very rich. Those doctor could be of a special breed. Dr. Butcher was. He was average in his professional performance neither very good nor very bad he was however extremely popular with his patients and had attained one of the glossiest professional reputations in the city. It was the thing to Dr. Butcher's patient. In certain circles, one wasn't decently ill unless Butcher was in attendances. Because he possessed this reputetion, he was kept frightfully busy —his term!—by people aspiring to social eminences. He was on the staff of a couple of the city hospitals and had courtesy privileges in the Boone Group. He had neither the ability not the wish to be an instructor in the medical school so that he was not in any case, eligible for a staff position. He was allowed to bring patients to the Groups and to attend them with certain restriction on his activity. As were all patients in the Group hospital, his were subject to supervision by the staff doctors. Since most of his patients were Pavilion cases they were not apt to be included in class ward walks though they could have been. Butcher had acquired his courtesy privileges through kind of write to which puling any private hospital must occasionally submit. At the time of reter shepherds residency he was not in complete Staff favor, as was evidenced by a recent order that any surgery he performed must be supervised. A more sensitive man would have taken his business elsewhere which was what the Boone-organization hoped he would do. But without bringing direct charges this move could not be suggested to..... Every one in the group was aware of butcher precarious position —except Butcher. At least he gave no sign of being so Early in December he personally escorted still another case to the surgery floor of the Pavilion his manner indicating to the patient that he himself owned the better part of Boone hospital and certainly was indispensable to the Group's operation. To the personnel his air of somber regard implied that this was the greatest man on earth being put to bed and that goldplated, diamond crusted care must be given him whenever busy Dr. Butcher must be elsewhere. Dr. Butcher personally selected the three special nurses; he dealt directly with the floor supervisor "I don't want Mr. Year by bothered," said Dr. Butcher impresssively. "He is nervous—apprehendsive. I' ve introduced his specials to him; I wish that only they and I should go into his room and— er — invade his privacy " The Supe looked up quickly. "But, Dr. Butcher—" "If McIntosh insist on seeing him, ask him to wait until he can go in under my aegis." Miss Clay didn't know what an aegis was. She didn't care. She wasn't asking the chief surgeon to do any waiting her face was stony "Oh, well, McIntosh wont bother," laughed Dr. Butcher. He was a very fat man, with hips like medicine balls. "But I will insist, Miss Clay, that a parade of interns and wet -eared residents be kept out." "Yes, doctor," said Miss Clay "You might put your request on file in the manager's office." "But why?" "Any variation from hospital routine procedure.. ." "Oh, yes. Well, F do it and you will care for Mr. Yearby tenderly, won't you?" Miss Clay wrote his order down as a "request" and pointed it out to the medical resident the resident rubbed his nose and asked Miss Clay what he sbpuid do. "You know I' m supposed to invade everybody's privacy." "I passed my buck to the managers office," said Miss Clay. "Ah huh and I can pass mine to the surgical resident can't I?" "You can try that." "He has to go in anyway, since this is a surgical case." "Yes." The surgical resident was peter Shepherded and when he encountered that re quest he took the matter up instantly with Dr. Butcher, rather overtaking himself on the subject of rules and regulations its as much as my place in the Groups is worth. Dr. Butcher, to fail to make an exAnimation." "See here Shepherd," sai Butcher. "You force me to say This. But even if could argue me into rules id still object to your contacting my patient. Peter thought he was referring to the time held made the senior resident, Diebal, supervise this mans surgery. "I don't make the rules doctor," he said intently "May be the manager wants all courtesy attending to be supervised." Butchers full checks quivered with anger. "I've no object to what you term supervision young man! I've no time to argue with you many point. My order is definite. I do not want Mr. Year examined by you," "But I have to. As surgery resident—" "Why my patient should be disturbed by a surgery resident who has shown himself incapable of diagnosing simple appendicitis..." Peter's checks flamed "Oh, yes!" said Dr. Butcher pleased to have drawn blood. "I know all about that cases, In fact, I had intimate knowledge of it. I was attending a case on the same ward—I do my share of charity work! Dr. Poli asked me to examine the young man just as he asked other surgeons to do I imagine. We were all watching you to see if you'd lethal boy die before you recognized a simple appendix—but fortunately he survived your week of indecision." It had not been a week! And if Poil had examined Mayer and had asked any staff or attending surgeons to do so, without peter's knowledge held bee gritty of an ethical breech—or, at least overzealousness, a term which could make peter wince. "If you thought I was so dumb," cried Peter, "why didn't you go on and operate on Mayer?" "He was not my patient or I should have. I take good care of my patients! Mr. Year by happens to be one of them and I repeat my order that you do not bother him." "I suppose Poli would suit you better," said Peter in futile anger. "He would suit me much better. I shall state that to the staff too." "In Butcher's position with the Staff, his opinion won't cat much ice," said Peter, telling his troubles to Mollie, searching her out in order that he might talk to her. "But it all goes on the record," mused mollie. "Poli know that," "He seems to know everything. He had no right to examine Mayer," "No, nor did butcher but on a student-patient or on a personnel—" "Yeah we all rally round I know. But it's very dirty politicking any way you explain it." "Yes, it is," Mollie agreed. "What am I going to do about Year by? I don't like to appeal to the manger miss clay just stands back and says she wrote Butcher's order as he gave it." "That clears her." "Yep." He waited Mollie shook her head laughing a little. And I guess the best you'll get from me, Shephered, is this advice: you know the rules. Maybe you'd better do your job strictly according to those rules." "Thanks." He was immediately off and away towards his own building and wards.

EARL BLAND, M.D. The more information an expenchant mother is given concerning her condition, the better for her and the baby. It helps her through the trails and tribulations of pregnancy and eases delivery. There are many arguments relative to merits of having the baby at home or in the hospital. Most physicians prefer the latter because it has proved the safest place for all types of case. If the event is normal, with no complication it does not matter, but the hospital has the equipment and faculties to take care of any emerges that might occur. Medicines are available to ease distrees and the breasts are prepared for nursing when the time comes. After delivery the actives of the new mothers are under more strict control than they are at home, allowing for an earlier returns of strength. In addition the diet and sleeping hours are regulated and the visiting hours limited. There are no doorbells to answer and a time set aside for elimination and female hygienie. The arrival of the baby is made easier by an understanding of the physiology and function of labor. By knowing what to expect the mother is more co-operative. Women who go into labor in a state of anxiety are more tense than usual Conversely, calmness hastens delivery, because it reduces muscle spasm and relaxed the birth canal. The first sign that the baby is coming usually cakes place four weeks before the date of confinement. It is Called "lightening," and consists of dropping or lowering of the baby which relieves abdominal pressure and makes breathing easier. Labor begins as a rule with pains that resemble—irregular abdominal cramps. The discomfort is not unlike that from gas or eating too man; green apples. A low backache is a frequent accompaniment. Within an hour or two the pains become more rhythmic and stronger. When should the doctor be called? Some physicians believe that the expectant mother ought to report to the hospital as soon as pains begin, to avoid panic and contusion. Others are told to wait a few more hours until labor is established. Mrs. J. Writes: Can a physician tell from the shape (pointed or round) if a lump on a joint whether it is malignant? A. C. Writes: Do kidney infections tend to recur? This has happened to me several times? CHILDBIRTH EASED BY ADVICE OF PHYSICIAN TO MOTHER By R.

Asia Produces One-Tenth Of World's Income Asia, with more than half of the world's total populations, produces only one-tenth of the world's national income, while North America, with less than 10 percent of the population; accounts for nearly 45 percent of the world's national income total. These are among the findings of the statistical office of the United Nations in a study just published. "National Income and its Distribution in Underdeveloped Countries." Continental areas are ranked in terms of income or output per head of population in terms of USA dollars as follows: North America, $11 00; Oceania, including Australia and New. Zealand,. $560; Europe, $380; the USSR, $310; South America, $170; Africa,. $75; and...Asla, $50. Africa with 8.3 percent of the world's population accounts for 2-6 percent of the world total Income. The total income produced in a country by the productive resources within its borders is larger or smaller than the national income accuring to its residents, the report states, depending on whether or not the net flow or Investment income between the country, and the rest of the world is outward or inward. Where the net flow is outward, as is the particular case of Africa, foreign investors receive from the country in question branch profits, dividends; end interest on bank balances and short term loans. According to the ' report;, the United States reveices by far the largest investment income from overseas. Next comes the United Kingdom. Miss. Grand Jury Indicts White Man For Assault A Mississippi grand jury last week indicted a .48 year old white man charged with the statutory rape of a 14 year old Negro girl after two previous trials gave the accused momentary freedom from conviction. The convicted man, H. L. Morrow had twice been tried in court on charges of forcible rape of a Negro girl last May 31 after pretending to hire her as a baby sitter. The first hearing resulted in a mistrial and the second hearing resulted in a verdict of "not guilty as charged." Under the rape charge the jury had three choices, life, death or acquittal. Under the new charge of statutory rape, the maximum is five years imprisonment. The jury, recalled after refusing to convict Morrow for forcible rape, ordered Morrow immediately held on a new charge of statutory rape, that is by putting the prosecutor in fear of great bodily harm or by over-powering her by reason of force.

BLUFF CITY COMMENTARY By CHESTER M. HAMPTON Once more the jaded world is given a brand new year. We can recall when each new year dawned as a lease on life an occasion for hope and rejoicing. Lately, since the Atomic Bomb to be specific thte pessimists among us are prone to wonder aloud if this year will be the last. To some extent, every year is the last. Changes are constantly occuring and some aspect of our life slips beyond the pale every season. This Change might be a fundamental law — a law not subject to the government of man. But even if the law itself is riot subject to man's will, thte course that the law takes might be so directed. What we lose every year, then, depends a great deal upon us, ourselves. 'If we lose something worthwhile, the blames is ours — if we lose something unworthy, we should get the credit. Since our gains accompany our losses? — then' we should plan to lose those aspects of our way of life that will guarantee the gain of something more worthy and useful. Lavish praise followed the recent appearance here of the Xavier University Choir of New Orleans; Memphians, along -with the rest of the country, will get another chance to hear the brilliant singing group, on January G In a broadcast for the United Negro College Fund. In the early days of our race's history our choirs played a great part in raising funds for individual churches and schools. In those days, the white persons of the North and East were the chief contributors—having been moved to ectasy through the superb singing of some of the early groups. With the years-came a less dependent attitude on the part of the Negro. He began to depend on himself rather than the white race for his betterment — the doctrine of "self-help" was spread. The pattern today is for Negro and white presons both to contribute their money and their efforts toward the betterment of the race. Such is the pattern of the United Negro College Fund. Early in the coming year, the Negro race will have a chance to contribute not to one institution of higher learning 'but to all such schools allied with the UNCF. This chance shouldn't be missed for it will mean an opportunity for the Negro to display both his independent attitude of "self-help" plus his willingness to cooperate with anyone sincerely desiring to help his race.. The Xavier Choir will be heard at 9:30, January 6, on the local ABC station. Other college choirs will broadcast each week thereafter. It is deplorable that some matters cannot be settle out of court and out of the public eye. Miss Bankhead's court action against her former maid is such a case. This type of publicity does no one any good — the accuser nor the accused. Some of the testimony given at the trial was not only damaging, to the characters of the talented entertainer and her erstwhile crony but, an affront to the sensibilities of anyone who heard or read. Of course, there's also the position that all persons - those, in in the public eye especially - should so conduct themselves that anything meeting the public's attention could not be embarrassing. Should this way at life prove intolerable - then one should adjust his affairs with such discretion that the revelation of them would not be damaging. Even if Miss Bankhead is being maliciously slandered with no particle of truth in the defendants accusations, there is still the nagging possibility! that some part of it must be true. In passing we might mention that Judge Harold A. Stephens — a Negro incidentally — is demonstrateing the patience of a philosopher throughout the whole sordid affair. Volumes have been written about the mingled Joy and sadness brought on by the recently released list of U. N. prisoners held by the Communists. The communists fire being asked — and rightily so — what happened to the prisoners known to be taken by- them that were not listed. At press time, no answer had been forthcoming — yet, it should come — it must come if there is to b any creducility given the material already given us. It can be said for the United States that prisoners are treated fairly and with decency. We have not recently had a war in which, we could say the same for our prisoners in enemy hands. The pattern of punishing offenders against -humanity, established after World War II. should be maintained scrupulously; at least until all nations are clever enough to avoid armed conflict entirely.

ACE THEATRE MISSISSIPPI At WALKER "THE SECRET OF CONVICT LAKE" —ALSO— "LOVE THAT BRUTE" HEADLINES & BYLINES BY SILAS P. WASHINGTON "From this book. "The Road To U. S. A. Citizenship", you have learned that the English Magna Carte as a part of the American heritage and is the cornerstone on which his great republic was built, an hat on it as a sure foundation, ouforefathers erected a Temple of Democracy and that among the great stones that went into the building are the Mayflower compact, the Declaration of Independence, the Federal Constitution and the "Bill of Rights" Blanchard Tual as uoted in the Commercial Appeal on December. 23. There is an old saying that one never misses the water until the the well goes dry. That is indeed true. Specifically, we have in mind the average American attitude toward his citizenship. Most of us are so accustomed to it that we are just as indifferent with respect to it as is the man who has always had a good supply of water. We should become more alert, for there are events to the world which are threatening the privilege guaranteed in the Federal Constitution and the amendments thereto: the seizure by Juan Peron of La Prensa liberal newspaper of Argentina); the imprisonment of Robert vogeles; the ridiculous jailing of reporter. Oatis Hungary's demand of $120,000 for the release of the four American airmen forced down. We, in America, as I have said, have been inclined to take for grant ed our right to citizenship, and we have at the same time, fallen short on our responsibilities. Rights imply corresponding responsibilities and among them are registering and voting. Those are indeed great obligations; for a voteless people is a hopeless people. Keep in mind also that when you fail to use; your lose that applies to liberties as well. The responsibilities, along with others and privileges are expressed or implied in the documents enumerated above. I have referred to all of them to refresh my memory, and I suggest that you do the same. It will help you. Concerning the Declaration of Independence Abraham Lincoln said: "I have never and a feeling politically that did not spring from the sentiments embodied in the Declaration of Independence. It was not the mere matter of separation of the colonies from the motherland, it was the sentiment in the Declaration of Independence which gave liberty, not alone to the people of this country, but I hope to the world, for all future time. It was that which gave promise that in due time the weight would be lifted from the shoulders of all men." In dependence Hall at Philadelphia, 1860.) Inasmuch as most all of MagnaCarta eventually developed into our Bill of Rights, that is, the first ten amendments to our constitution I shall copy them here for you: I Confess shall make no law respecting an established religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for redress of grievances. 2. A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state; the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. 3. No soldier shall, in time of peace, be quartered in any house without the consent pf the owner, nor in time of war but in a manner to be prescribed by law. IV. The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. V. No person shall be held to answer for a capitol or other infamous crime unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in case a rising in the Land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service, in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of the law nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation. VI. In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which districts shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have com pulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have assistance of counsel for his defense. VII. In suits at, common law where the value in controversy shall exceed-twenty dollars, the rights of trail by jury shall as otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States than according to the rules of the common law. VIII. Excessive bail shall not be equired, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. IX. The enumeration in the Con stitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. X. The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. We have seen, in the cases cited above, these rights denied. As long as such can happen to anyone any where in this world, you and I are not safe. Please consider that; for it is real. These rights have been guaranteed here, yet to fully realize them, to retain, we must be alert So, it behooves all of us to be diligent lest we lose or have di minished these precious rights.

Charges Reds Listing Santa In Peace Drive The New York Journal American said on Thursday the Communists are enlisting Santa Claus during the Yuletide season in a Moscow-directed "peace" campaign. The newspaper reported the Communists attired in Santa's resuit, and white, beard will take to busy street corners in shopping areas with "peace" petitions. In addition, the Journal "American said, the Communists also plan to send out caroling groups to sing the "glories" of the Soviet on Christmas Eve. The newspaper said: "These, activities—being carried on by an organization which officiaily says religion is the opiate of the people,—coincide with a similar campaign to get New Yorkers to buy Christmas 'peace' cards to send to President Truman. "According to the Communist Press, the 'crusade' is out to get 20,000 signatures by Christmas and 7,500 already have been signed. "The Red 'greeting cards' which are to be sent the President have been signed by 200,00 New Yorkers, the Daily Worker boasts. "Still another 'petition" campaign by the American Peace Crusade, identified by Congress as part of the Comiform's world apparatus for Red propaganda, has called for 400,000 local signers for peace.
